IL-06: Peter Roskum stoops below tRump in name-calling.

Sadly, in his latest TV spot, while having nothing positive to offer, Peter Roskum has stooped to the tRump favorite twit tactic - name calling.

In a message which begins with Peter stating "I approve this message..." Peter then labels Sean Casten as both "sleazy" and "shady."

I expect that kind of slime from tRump. I expect it from the RNC.

But although I don't like his politics, I thought Peter was smarter than that.

Roskam is a fully owned subsidiary of the Koch brothers. They must be desperate. hedda_foil Oct 2018 #3

I would vote against these assholes if I was conservative just because of the fear mongering.

Stick to the issues. If you cannot win on the issues, too fucking bad.

They've only been doing this smear job through their PAC ads. If Roskam is using it in his own name, the Kochs must be steaming.

Would expect this kind of ad from the PACs and even the RNC.

Very surprised Roskum put his name and approval message on this ad.
